not be forgotten. Senator Edmcnds saya
war statutes should remain to show which

he should return to the democratic party.

A FEW weeks ago the IatsHigeReer print
ed an alleged interview with Senator KEN
Ma, in which the Senator was made to say
something about the tariff. The MoURtaiR
Herald, published at Hinton, says on the
subject:
We met Senator Kenna in Charleston on
Monday last, and the first thing We asked
him was: How about your position on
the tariff as described by the Wheeling In
tsEiqtRcF?"
The Senator smiled and said: II was eN-
Meeting that question. The tact is the H.

ofexpense to these deserving benefieiarieso or
q moments unnecessary delay, and with
NO hindrance to other just claims pending
before the office. This extra work was
accomplished in the amazingly short period
Of three months. CLEVELAND approved
the act of May II, 1856, amending the re-
cords of the War Department as to the
charge of desertion, relieving thousands Of
unfortunate veterans Of the hardships
worked by the resting of charges against
them based upon technical errors in the
record. He approved the act of January
%, 1887, beneftting over $4,000 survivors
and soldiers widows of the Mexican war.
During GRANTS two administrations
leight years. ass private pension acts were
approved; HAYES, SOB; GARFIELD and
ARTHUR's, 736. In his first two years,
CLEVELAND has approved S63 private
pension acts, which are 37S Tor 70 per
cent more than GRANT in eight years,
nearly one and forr-fifth times as many
$50 Tor 1S5 per cent more than HAYES,
nearly three times as many, and 127 Tor
II per cent. more than GARFIELD or
ARTHUR.
This is very incomplete summary Of an
honest record that the Republican party
cannot touch. 1t has not done nor 'can it
DO any more for the soldier than has Mr..
CLEvELAND's administration. What the
Republican politicians offer is simply raid
on the United States Treasury which they
cannot accomplish. Ifthey had the chance
and dared attempt such robbery, the
taxpayers would as sure as fate rise en-
lsaSse, and when aroused who can tell how
disastrous their action might prove to the
pensioners already on the rolls? They
might take it into their heads, and it Is no'Ia
all improbable, to relieve themselves while
they were about it, of the unprecedented
SIS, 600, 600 a year burden they are already
carrying in pensions. A popular revolt
once begun is generally radical in its de-
mands. This is no yagary, but 4 real dam
ger forecast by the present attitude of the
Republican leaders in their loOtlng cam
paign for lSSS..

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
SOLDIER.

1t may be said that the Republicans
have already begun their campaign for
lSSS. EmisSarisS OF that party are hard at
work in nearly every State in the Union
drumming up old soldiers aud organizing
them into & \. L. posts TO work for the
success Of the Republican party, holding
out TO them the glittering bait-unlimited
pensions. This will catch them many a
vote among unsOphisticated veterans who
don't understand the situation and who
cannot read Alright the signs OF the TIMES.
No such pension bill IS the Republican
politicians hold out to allure the soldier
can ever be passed. 1t would he ratiOnal
scandal that would come nigh conyulsing
the country in a revolution. Were it to
become law there would be 10 need for a
reduction of the surplus; on the contrary,
Il would necsssitate an enormous additional
taxation that the already heavily burdeuCd
people of this country would Tot submit to
Below We present table which gives
the number of pensioners for each fiscal
wear from the close Of the civil war Up TO
the 3Oth of June, and the annual disburse-
ments for the corresponding year, with the
amount Of the regular annual pension aP-
preparation bill for ISL. The period is
divided into three parts-the first showing
the natural growth Of pensioners under a
legitimate system up to the maximum OF
1873; the second, the natural falling of

a legitimate system; tie third, the start

the thoughtful attention Of every reader to

1t thus appears that, through the opera
ton of the Arrears Act. instead Of having
dwindling pension roll, With less than
200, 600 names aud requiring only about
$50, 900, 600 a year, ~ would have been the
case under the former ~ stem, We have aroli
still growing At the rate Of 2O, 900 year,
which is already over iOO, 600 and calls for
an appropriation Of $75,OOo,OOO a year.
And now-incOmprehensible tact-COn-
gress is asked to put every man who was
in the Union army during the war on the
pension rolls This is the bait with which
the Republican politicians are angling for
/ the soldier vote
But they cannot pass such bill, and
they lie to the soldier As they lied in lisa,
when it was loudly proclaimed by the
Republican party, from stump and forum,
that the continuance Of our pension system
depended upon their success a. the polls.
Their schemes and rancorous appeals, how
ever. miscaIried, and the people restored
the Democratic party to power. 1t has
given a cleaner and better administration
in general, and of the pension laws in par
ticular, than the country has had in a
quarter of century.
Many G. A. +. men are asking If the
crusade now being made against the Presi-
dent is really on account OF his pension
vetoes, or IS it precOncerted movement
AGAINST Democratic administration. The
President has always shown deep sense
oftbe sacred debt due these defenders Of d
grateful country. But Republicans have
seen fit to make the onslaught upon his
administration of the pension laws. Will
alacrity can the Democratic party accep'
the issue and go before the country uPOr
the record.
What has President CLEVELAND done
for the soldier? The United States Revised
Statutes furnish the best answer. To be
gin with, he approved the act of August 4,
1885, increasing the pension Of 1O,O3(
manned veterans from 81 to $50, from SS(
to $50, and from S37.5O to S45 per month
He approved the act of March 1s, 1886
which increased from s. to S12 per month
the pension of IS, $50 widows and depend
ents. These 1889 certificates for thu

What Neuralgia Means.

The great prevalence OF neuralgia"
or what commonlygoe by that name
should be regarded as q warning indi
cation OF a low condition OF health,
which must necessarily render those
who are affected with this painful
malady especially susceptible to the
invasion OF diseases OF an aggressive
type. This is the season at which it
is particularly desirable to be strong
and well furnished with a sort OF
strength that affords n natural pro-
lection against disease. There will
presently be need of all the internal
heat which the organism can com.
mand. and a good store OF fat for use
as fuel is not to be despised. 1t is no less
essential that the vital forces should
be vigorous and the nerve power es-
pecally, in full development.
Neuralgia indicates low or depress.
ed state OF vitality, and nothing So
apidly exhausts the system as pain
that prevents sleep and agonizes both
body and mind. 1t liz therefore OF the
first movement that attacks OF this
affection incidental to and indicative
OF poor and weak state, should be
promptly placed under treatment and
rs rapidly as may be )ntrolled. 1t
is worth while to note this fact, be-
cause, while the spirit OF manliness in.
cites the "strong. minded" to patient
endurance OF suffering, il is not wise
TO suffer the distress caused by this
malady, as many are now suffering
it, without seeking relief, foreetfu OF
the condition it bespeaKs. and the
constitutional danger OF which it rs q
warning sign.
